"Chance" indicates that it isn't 100% definite that whatever is going to be discussed is going to be followed through. This is, unfortunately, one of those times and we have to bear the bad news after further consideration amongst the team. It wouldn't have been discussed with you if there wasn't an opportunity to be possible, however after further discussions and consideration it's clear that the higher dev team have decided on maintaining sub-unit cap at two.
I can understand the disappointment, however the reasons behind this choice are justifiable.
